Hard-working, health-oriented, hippie life. :) I'm new to couch surfing, though I've been lucky enough to meet some couch surfers who've got me thinking I want to try more of this.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and people in general and see this as another opportunity to meet like-minded, free-spirited, and hippie-hearted people. :)

Interests

Exploring new places, being active (whether hiking, working out, or practicing yoga), being outside/ in nature, connecting with people, learning, art, volunteering, craft beer, cooking, tattoos

Music, Movies, and Books

Superhero movies (especially Iron Man and the X-Men) are my new favorites. I love R&B most (but also funk, jazz, rock, bluegrass, folk, classical Indian music, and even some cheesy pop). Young adult fiction (Harry Potter, Hunger Games) tends to be my favorite... Although Time Traveler's Wife is the best ever :).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I seriously never thought I would finish my PhD because it meant being in school nonstop from ages 5 to 29... But it turns out life is wonderful on the other side and out of school!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, laughs, conversation. I'm down to get a beer and relax or go for a hike and explore new places.
